Love, Stargirl

“YOU: Wow. I don’t know what to say. I don’t deserve you.

ME: You’re right, for once.

YOU: After all that, how can I not love you back?

ME: Beats me.

YOU: OK, I’m saying it: I love you.

ME: No! I don’t want to hear it. Not that way. I never want to hear those words unless they’re coming from your lips. The flesh-and-blood you, not the fantasy you.

YOU: I thought you wanted me to say it. You’re not making sense.

ME: The heart makes no sense.

YOU: So what do you want from me?

ME: The answer is in your question—I want it from you. I want you to say the words because they’re flying out of your mouth, because you can’t possibly stop them, not because I led you to the brink of them. And I want to know that they’re being said to me. To me. Not to some girl in the movies or a book. Not to some idea of Girl that you’ve picked up along the way from other boys and other girls.”

I was really disappointed with this book because Stargirl is one of my favorite books of all time. I just think that we didn’t really need this book, it would’ve been fine just having Stargirl.

Just as amazing as the first! Jerry Spinelli is truly a master.

I throughly enjoyed the new cast of characters that found their way into Stargirl's life in this book! From tiny Dootsie to the infamous Perry, I loved them all. It was refreshing to read things from Stargirl's point of view for a change, to see how she was affected by Leo.

Once again what I love most about this book is just how true Stargirl is to herself. Yes, she goes through moments where she questions who she is, but she always finds her way back to her true self. Not afraid to be odd, not afraid to be different, not even afraid to be unpopular. Her attitude and passion shine off of the pages.

I recommended the first of these books to everyone I knew, and they will hear about this one as well! Leo and Stargirl forever!

I went into this book not expecting it to be great because of what I had heard about it. Many people said it wasn't as good as the first book, but I disagree. It was just as amazing, if not better!
